Abstract—The network scalability may be achieved by grouping sensor nodes into a cluster hierarchy. Cluster head is referred as the leader of every cluster. In order to achieve stable clustering for mobile environment many clustering schemes are used for Wireless Sensor Network. This paper, proposeds an extension to Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Head protocol namely a protocol for energy efficient mechanism for wireless sensor network with symmetric cluster formation which is known as Highest Energy Clustering Hierarchy (HECH) protocol. Mathematical simulation studies show the correctness and effectiveness of the protocol.
